High quality barn conversion sitting in 1 hectare of private grounds on the edge of the Dordogne.

The property is a former 'sechoir' - a tobacco drying barn that has been completely and sympathetically transformed into superb, contemporary living accommodation over two floors.

Architect-designed, the interior has fully-equipped kitchen, living and dining rooms (satellite TV and Wi-Fi internet), utility room and ground floor, ensuite bathroom. Further three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor.

Gourdon and Sarlat-la-Canéda are less than 30 minutes away and offer all shops, further restaurants and cultural events.

Sarlat-la-Canéda is a beautifully picturesque town in the heart of the Dordogne; a charming and busy traditional town with all amenities which is the capital of Perigord. Many good restaurants and cafés to discover. Excellent market on Saturday.

Hot air ballooning, various local companies. Micro-lite air craft, and light aircraft flights available from Domme Sarlat-la-Canéda Airport.

Paintball, very good site near La Roque-Gageac. La Roque-Gageac is a stunningly beautiful village under the towering cliffs. The village regularly wins France's 'Prettiest Village' competition. Good canoeing centre here.

Competing with La Roque-Gageac in the prettiness stakes is the village of Carennac. Elevated just above the South bank of the river, it is best known for its typical Quercy architecture and Romanesque priory. Further Romanesque art at the Saint-Pierre church in Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne.

Perhaps the most famous of the Dordogne tourist attractions are the cave paintings around Les Eyzies. There are more pre-historic caves in this area than you could ever visit in a day!

Customer Reviews

Richard (UK)We loved Le Sechoir we have come home and booked for three weeks again next year. Positioned in the wooded hills above the village of Salviac. It’s mixture of contemporary and old was perfect. The house is spacious and well equipped. Whilst the large swimming pool may seem remote from the house it is perfectly positioned for sun all day.....that special last swim at the end of the day as the sun sets over the valley and the Rosé waits chilled!

McAllister family (UK)We've just returned from a fantastic 2 weeks at Le Sechoir (ref 24113) in Florimont Gaumier and would like to enquire about booking again for next year!
